Division Unchanged.
PITTsBURG, March s.-The situation
along the Pittsburg division of the BaIti-
more and Ohio road Is practically un-
changed. Both sides maintain a ffrm
front, and there is no Indication of an
early settlement of the trouble. No at
tempt has been made to move freight
since yesterday morning, and all the
sidings between this city and ConneIls-
Vile are blockaded with oars. Passenger
trains continue to run as usual. The pas
senger brakemen have not been called
out, but they expect an order TO join the
strike at any time.
The coal miners along the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad have been compelled
to close down for the want of cars, pend
ing a settlement of the strike, and one
sixth of the coke ovens controlled by the
syndicate have also suspended opera
tions for the same reason. The strikers
are peaceable, and no outbreak is appre-
hended. This morning the yardmen on
the Toledo division of the Pennsylvania
Company's system notified the officials in
this city that they would strike il they
were not Immediately granted a small adj
vance in wages.
A youngstown, o., special reports the
situation there unchanged. This morn

ny and Tube Works each leased loco
motive from the Pennsylvania Coinpeny
and put a crew of their own men to run
them In handling stock around their
plant. The lines are drawn closely be-
tween the officials and employees and

mainder of the day In the death chamber

conspirators known as the Citizens AS
s0ciation and of their tools, GrinnelI and
Gary. They, in conjunction with
an odious, lying press serving
the enemies of the people have murdered
brave woman and made children not Of
age orphans. They will reap their curse
OF the present and their contempt of the
coming generation"

was crowded with excited people. A
committee had been formed to make ar
rangements for the funeral, and they de-
cided to postpone IL If possible until Sun

violation OF Canadian Law.
HALIFAX, n. s., Aug. 6-Collector Foley
has made another seizure at Souris, p. E. /.
This time tho victim is the North Haven
schooner j. II. Perkins, Mcdonald, master
She is seized on the charge of violating the
customs laws by shipping men. 1t appears
four men were shipped on the north side of
Prince Edwards Island on the Goth ult
Skipper Mcdonald does not deny the charge,
and has made formal declaration to the
effect that he had arranged by CORE
spondence last winter to ship these
men on his present trip. He wanted
men and he sent word to them to meet him.
In order not to violate the law he instructed
them to join his vessel at sea. He did not
go on shore for the men, but lay to, as he
supposed, four miles off shore, and the men
rowed Off to his vessel and shipped on her.
The informers, however, swear that the
Perkins was not more than two miles from
shore when the four man boarded her The
skipper of the Perkins is also charged with
having shipped two men at this port on
Wednesday night. She was lying in harbor
among fleet of fifty or sixty American
vessels and these two mon were Struggled on

fined 800 for each offense.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-Admiral Luce has

circular recently printed by him for the in

giving queries presented by him to Capt.
Scott, of the Canadian navy, and Capt.
SCOTS replies defining the rights Of United
States vessels in Canadian ports. Admiral
Luce says that these circulars have been dis
tfibuted among the fishing fleet. Upon the
receipt of this information Secretary Whit
ney cabled to Admiral Luce as follows:
Admiral Luce, Halifax, N. S.
l assume that your application to Capt
Scott was not for the purpose Of obtaining
from him an exposition of the law, but to Ell
| able our fishermen to know the extent oS the
Canadian claim, and thus avoid difficulties,
if they should so choose. This is not quite
clear from your report, and it would be
better to issue no more circulars, and with.
draw such as are within your reach
| Capt Scott is not understood to be the
agent Of his government for any such pur-
pose as that for which you have employed
him, and if he were the application might
more properly be made to our own govern
ment in case a correct statement Of the
Canadian claim is desired

In the street AMI about the narrow door
way that leads back to the creaking stairway
children gathered, boys and girls, dirty and
unkempt, and whispered and pointed and
gossiped with each new conner, and climbed
up and fell from the idle trucks and carts
in their attempts to peep into those closed
second story windows. And women, too,
and men lounged without and shaded their
heads from the hot sun and moved about in
search of points of vantage, and craned their
necks at the sight.
Beautiful the dead girl certainly was when
she was laid finally in the box prepared for
her Her brown hair, worn in puffy con-
fusion over her forehead while she lived, was
brushed back. Her face, with its regular
features, was peaceful, and her mouth,
srched and pouting, told plainly of the mirth
that had gone from it, She had been healthy
as spring fawn and as well made Even
the wounds which killed her showed exter-
nally as mere pin punctures. 1t was as if
nature had tried to HIDE the deed that had
shamed her in sheer pity for those left be-
hind.
